Why is it that musicians are so supportive of file sharing while it's the total opposite in the gaming industry? Game devs have such a hostile relationship with their fans that it's incredible. Most game devs (not as much as their publishers though) will whine about piracy and the used game market and then insist that they need DRM to protect their jobs and DLC to protect themselves against both the used market and piracy. How often do you see game devs say, "file sharing is great"? You hear musicians say that all the time but not game devs. What gives? The gaming industry seem to be the most greed-driven of the entertainment industries out there whereas musicians (obviously Metallica and other major anti-piracy whiners are an exception) are more likely to see their work as a thing of art and love.
